On Friday, March 22, Ms Armanini's class and Mrs. D'Augustine's class visited Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ for a Community Based Instruction outing. Students went behind the scenes to see the 760,000 gallon Ocean Realm exhibit where students learned about the responsibilities of the staff members. Students also learned about animal husbandry and some of the beloved, lesser-seen animal ambassadors.

Guess the Gold - March 11th - 15th during lunches!

Mr. Marino's 8th grade accelerated students were tasked with creating a mock trial on whether or not Napoleon Bonaparte was guilty of crimes against humanity. This activity is connected to the Age of Revolutions Unit. Students chose the role of judge, clerk/sheriff, jury, prosecution lawyer, defense lawyer, or witness. Witness statements, opening and closing statements by the lawyers, direct and cross examination questions and answers, court procedures, the script, and all other aspects of the trial were created by students. By the end of the trial, students obtained a strong understanding of Napoleon Bonaparte's impact on Europe, the French Revolution, and the procedures, roles, rules, etc. of a modern court case.
